Volume 4: Fighting for You 2. A Good Night's Sleep
The next day, Chen He woke up beautifully, had a good night's sleep, listened to the wind and rain, and felt that he hadn't slept so comfortably for a long time, but when Chen He got up and was about to eat breakfast, he saw Meng He walking in, his eyes were black and black, and he was really startled, what is this doing, after a night's hard work, he was so embarrassed.
"Lord!" Although Meng He had dark circles under his eyes, his spirit was not bad, and after seeing Chen He, he immediately saluted and said: "My subordinates are fortunate not to be dishonored, and they have already set up Old Man Gu's ability, although he definitely didn't say anything about the things at the bottom of the box, but at least he can make some judgments about the weather, just like this time, if there are these things, he will definitely not be in such an unfavorable situation!" β
As he spoke, Meng He handed Chen He a small notebook in his hand, which he had sorted out after staying up all night, and it would have an immeasurable effect on the march of the army in the future.
Chen He took the small notebook, did not turn it over, but put it on his case, and then grabbed Meng He's arm and said: "Chu Xia, although you are still young, but your body is no longer yours, Ben will solemnly warn you, you will not be allowed to work hard in the future, Ben will rely on you in the future, there will be more places to rely on you in the future, if you are sick, let Ben Jiang do?" Look at the old man Gu, the year of the sixtieth year, it looks almost the same as the year of not being confused! It doesn't matter if anything else, you have to learn from Old Man Gu about this! β
Meng He was a little excited, his efforts were worth it, he could get such a concern from the Lord, what was there to be dissatisfied, he immediately bowed again and said: "The subordinates will never let the Lord down, they will definitely take care of their bodies and serve the Lord!" β
"Well, you go and rest, everything will be said after you are done!" Chen He said, beckoned the guards to come in, and took Meng He down to rest.
On the other side, Gu Yun also happily came to Li Qingxue's tent, holding a thick stack of papers in his hand, a pair of dark circles deeper than Meng He, and Li Qingxue was also shocked.
"Gu Lao!" Li Qingxue knew that Gu Lao was all for him, in the past because he really couldn't help, this time Gu Lao thought that as long as he contributed, he would definitely be able to help, so Gu Lao ignored the age of the sixtieth year, and was wiser with Meng He.
"Lord, the old man is fortunate not to be dishonored, and he has set out the training methods of the little fox in Menghe, haha, it won't be long before the lord can also have a bow and Lan archer!" Gu Yun was really excited, he didn't understand military affairs, but he was too good at such small things as clichΓ©s, so between the two of them, they made a literati agreement to chat with each other, once they caught the flaws in the other party's words, the losing party must answer the other party's question without the slightest fraud.
This is the kind of method, Gu Yun relied on his old experience in the rivers and lakes, and finally completely set out Meng He's training method, especially at the end, he even asked: "Your method of training Gong Lan archers can be fraudulent or inexhaustible!" β
As Meng He, who was caught with a language problem, replied honestly, this is all the training methods he knows, and there is no hiding any secrets. And Gu Yun said excitedly that this exchange was over, although he had been tricked into a lot of ways to distinguish the weather, but the core things, his old man still had a good existence.
"Old Gu, thank you for your hard work!" Li Qingxue let go of Gu Yun and gave him a big gift.
Gu Yun hurriedly hugged Li Qingxue and said: "Lord, hurry up and hand over this note to General Feng Xiao, my old man can't do this kind of thing like training, it's been a hard night, go make up for sleep first!" β
"Come on, send Gu Lao back to rest!" Li Qingxue clutched the training book in his hand, feeling as heavy as Mount Tai, and immediately asked people to call Feng Xiao over.
Although he said that he had a hangover all night, but after all, he was a military general, Feng Xiao had already woken up, and when he heard that Li Qingxue was looking for him, he was busy and went to Li Qingxue's camp tent and said: "Lord, my subordinates have lost their temper!" β
"Gaffes? It doesn't matter, Ben Jiang and Chen He hit it off at first sight, didn't Ben Jiang also stay here last night! Ben will come to you, there is a method of training archers for you to identify! As he spoke, Li Qingxue handed over the training method of Gong Lan archers compiled by Gu Yun.
And Feng Xiao stretched out his hand to take it, and what caught his eye was the four big characters "Gong Lan Archer" Suddenly, his eyes were bright, he looked up at Li Qingxue and said, "Lord, this is, Gu Lao's words!" β
"Well, you had a hangover last night, Gu Lao fought with Meng He all night, and finally set out all the training methods of Gong Lan archers he mastered, and Gu Lao also lost a lot of knowledge to distinguish the weather!" Li Qingxue nodded and said.
As soon as he heard that Gu Yun had spent a night of hard work, where did he get the training method from Meng He, Feng Xiao immediately said in awe: "Lord, the subordinates have been disrespectful to Gu Lao a lot before, and now go and apologize to Gu Lao, and in the future, the subordinates will definitely treat Gu Lao as a father!" β
"Feng Xiao, this general knows that you all think that Gu Lao is not familiar with military affairs, so you don't take Gu Lao seriously, but Gu Lao is dedicated to this general and Tianlan City, this will not be wrong, just like this time, Meng He's intelligence, you should all know it, Gong Lan archers are the troops he created! However, now that the training method of this archer has been tricked by Gu Lao, what is the credit? Li Qingxue took the opportunity to say.
"If our army has Gong Lan archers, then Chen He is nothing!" Feng Xiao said very confidently, because he knew the strength of the Gong Lan archers, so he knew very well that in this battle, if there were no Gong Lan archers, or if they had a long-range soldier equal to the Gong Lan archers, then the outcome of this battle would still have to be well fought to know.
"Feng Xiao, don't underestimate Chen He and the generals and soldiers under his command, not to mention far away, the few who drank yesterday, Yan Wushuang beheaded Hu Yong in the array, Lin Tiehu and his army guarded the pass, the army is invincible, the two-handed swordsmen under the command of Si Pai, the situation of heads-up can suppress the vine armor soldiers, it can be seen that he is also a good general, as for Mu Yong can be brought over by Chen He, there must be something outstanding!" Li Qingxue will not underestimate Chen He, although Chen He said that he just won a war king by luck, but is it really just a fluke, if it is him, dare to lead an army of 200,000 and threaten to drag the other party for seven days, this requires not stupid boldness, but a person who has absolute confidence in his own strength to shout out.
"Yes, Lord, subordinates will not underestimate each other, but subordinates will definitely not lose to them!" Feng Xiao is not an impulsive general, otherwise he would not be able to train an archer, but he knows the strength of the archers, so he is very confident.
"Well, let's take a look at what conditions are needed to train Gong Lan archers, if it's too harsh, I'll have to discuss with Chen He!" Li Qingxue was eager to train his own bow and Lan archers, so he was eager to find out.
Feng Xiao nodded, and then turned over the training method of the bow and archers in his hand, it was like a pilgrimage, very solemn, but after a while, the solemn look on Feng Xiao's face disappeared, and he frowned tightly, originally just turning the pages one by one, but then he continued to flip, and even looked directly at the last page, and the expression on his face also changed from solemn to something called anger.
"Lord, Gu Lao has been deceived, this is simply the most ordinary method of training soldiers, using this method to train archers, there is no way to train a qualified archer in three years and five years, it is not a training method for archers at all!" Feng Xiao angrily threw the method of military training on the case and said to Li Qingxue.
"What!" Li Qingxue didn't expect that Feng Xiao would actually give such a conclusion, and then he was also angry, and immediately said: "Feng Xiao, come with me!" As he spoke, he picked up the book on the case, took Feng Xiao out of the camp tent directly, and then went straight to Chen He's big tent.
Although the wind and rain did not stop outside, Li Qingxue directly kicked the book in his arms, and quickly arrived at Chen He's camp with an umbrella, but he didn't break in directly, but he still knew the rules, and this was still Chen He's territory, so he directly let the guards go in.
After a while, the guards invited Li Qingxue and Feng Xiao in, and after seeing Chen He, Li Qingxue unceremoniously threw the book in his hand on Chen He's case and said: "Chen He, the Meng army division under your command is inevitably too inferior, obviously made an appointment with Gu Lao, fought with his wits, and gambled with his bow and Lan archers and Gu Lao's method of identifying the weather, but he lost, and actually used such an archer training method that even my generals couldn't look down on to fool Gu Lao into military affairs!" Gu Lao Huajia's age, gambling with him all night, in exchange for such a scam? Chen He, you have to give me an explanation for this! β
When Chen He heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "Li Qingxue, don't worry, sit first, sit first!" Gu Lao is indeed respected, but there is one thing I want to defend Chu Xia, that is, there are no bow archers in this world, and the method of training archers that Chu Xia has mastered is also listed above, and I can swear in the name of the god of war, if there is any falsehood, I will abolish my identity as the messenger of the god of war! β
After hearing Chen He's words, Li Qingxue's face changed drastically, because Chen He's oath meant that Meng He was not lying at all, but before Chen He made it clear that the Gong Lan archers were trained by Meng He, what the hell is going on here.
Seeing that Li Qingxue's face was wrong, Chen He said again: "In addition, the archers of Gonglan should be your name for the archers trained by Meng He, in fact, they are really just ordinary archers, in terms of elite, they are not even as elite as the archers under your command, but there is another assistant under the command of Meng He, who is a natural marksman, and he will jump out of the archers seedlings and train them to be marksmen!" And that person will only train marksmen! β
"Chen He, I trust you, but why are the archers under your command so powerful?" Li Qingxue knew that Chen He had no need to lie to him, especially under the oath, so he asked, this question was not clarified, and he was unwilling.
